STORM WATER POLICY
Only rain water is allowed in storm drains!
At no time is trash, debris, grease, ice, or any type of liquid to enter a storm drain. These drains are connected to the ocean, which means that any trash or liquid that goes down the storm drain automatically becomes pollution. It does not matter if it is “just water.” If it is not rain water, it is not allowed in the storm drain.
San Diego Municipal code 43.0301 makes it illegal to pollute storm drains. Vendors must dispose of all pollutants such as ice, trash, dirt, unfinished beverages and any other type of trash in the proper manner. Failure to comply with Storm Drain protection WILL result in forfeiture of deposit and/or citations by city officials.

LA MESA POLYSTYRENE AND SINGLE USE PLASTICS ORDINANCE
Plastic and bioplastic straws & utensils may only be distributed upon the request of customers.
All polystyrene food service ware products, coolers, ice chests, and pool or beach toys are prohibited from special events. Food service ware includes bowls, plates, trays, cups, lids, hinged containers, and other similar items designed for one-time use.
The recycling ordinance states you must have a ratio of 1:1 containers, i.e., pair a recycling container with every trash container. Never have a recycling container standing alone or it will be used for trash! Signage for the recycling containers (mandatory) is available below for your convenience. We recommend using clear bags for recycling and black bags for trash. This helps prevent crews from mixing the two bags in the same dumpster.
Please make sure all recyclables (not just bottles and cans for redemption value) are being collected and put into the recycling dumpster. Make sure all vendors are aware of this requirement. This includes but is not limited to:
plastic cups - i.e., drinking cups like for water, juice, beer
cardboard
plastic tubs and containers
glass jars and bottles
aluminum/tin cans and containers
mixed paper
Special Event Recycling Signage:
Trash, recycling, and composting signs
Recycling container sign
Companies that rent or sell recycling containers and boxes are listed here.
There are exemptions to some of these restrictions so Please visit San Diego's environmental site for more info
